If you are gaming at 60hz already, then there is no need to get a faster cpu. If it boosts to you 100fps, you don't care, you only need 60fps for your monitor anyways.
If you read the link I posted, you'll see most games scale on the AMD chips from the 6300 3.5ghz, 8350 4ghz, 9370, 4.4ghz and 9590 4.7ghz fairly evenly and the extra 2 cores don't make a big difference, so running at 4.6ghz, you are already probably at 8350 performance for the majority of games. None of them max all 6 cores on the 6300, so therefore the extra 2 are wasted.;
